It's all about money people, if you can lay blame on someone for something, odds are you can sue. If you sue you get money, but at what expense? Is our economy bad only due to bad investment brokers, I think not. It is the giving away of money, of which we base entirely on something as useless as gold. Gold has no serious use to mankind other then looking nice, and to be honest it looks as nice to me as a piece of nicely made silver jewelery, only I know some moron paid $500 for it instead of $100.

And these are probably the same people commiting suicide, as they have no idea what they are doing with their wallets, let alone their lives. It might be harsh to say, but does society really need people such as this? Wouldn't they just wind up on top of some college campus tower popping shots at innocents with this kind of weak mindedness, or stringing together a 15 people slaughter only to wind up in history books as another troubled serial killer?

We are better off ultimately, though I do offer my regards to their families, but honestly it is survival of the fittest, and apparently they weren't in shape. ]]>Sep 26th 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/09/26/smartphones-blamed-for-rash-of-france-telecom-suicides/http://www.switched.com/2009/09/26/smartphones-blamed-for-rash-of-france-telecom-suicides/
I am not sure that merely getting emails at home was their problem but if it was, they surely don't work in the usa... :D

heh...

My interpretation of data is 21-23% / 100,000 [ Total, working age group = Employees of France Telecom].
Hence in about 3 minutes I have scientifically established that the actual rate (abt. 22%) = the rate for the company (stated: 22 deaths, # employees abt. 100K.
Hence again, this is NO story. Apparently, just to scare people in this "age of terrorism".
